Bonavista Biennale is an innovative, rural-based, public art event occurring every two years on Newfoundland’s Bonavista Peninsula. It provides a unique platform for artists and audiences to explore, exchange and challenge different ideas and perspectives. Biennale visitors experience artworks alongside the complex and compelling histories, economies, geological features and environments that shape the Bonavista Peninsula. Projects are realized in unconventional outdoor and indoor sites, including historic and industrial buildings, outport villages, beaches and cliffsides. The 2023 Biennale saw attendance figures of nearly 20,000.

In Inuktutit, qiaqsutuq is the sound of the whistling wind and the sound of crying. In this collaborative multimedia installation created by five artists from across Inuit Nunaat (from their Inuit homelands in Alaska, Canada and Greenland) qiaqsutuq is critically imagined as a lament for nuna, tariuq, and sila, a chorus of its Arctic inhabitants from the land, sea and sky.
